    Now if they could just stop putting ad results above the app you search for in the Play store.

      TIL people use the play store for stuff besides just a rare update and apparently browse it

        I don’t even mean browsing! Just trying to install something.

        I search for “NordVPN” (because all the cool YouTubers use it!) and the first result is “Norton 360 with an install button.

        It’s a “sponsored result” and it’s easy to install the wrong thing if you’re used to it actually finding the thing you just typed in.

        If I put Firefox. I get duckduckgo. Okay, maybe not so bad and pretty obvious. But I’ve had these things for apps that almost look like the legitimate one.
